Injury and suspension has forced the Raiders to make a reshuffle to their team to take on the Bulldogs on Friday night at GIO Stadium, with Josh Papalii (ankle) and Paul Vaughan (suspended) unavailable for the Green Machine.

Papalii is set to return for the Raiders in round 17-18, while Vaughan will miss just the one match after taking the early guilty plea for a dangerous contact charge in round 13.

The changes see Jake Foster named in the starting second row for the Raiders, with Kyle O’Donnell included on the bench.

The Raiders other change comes in the backline with Matt Allwood replacing Reece Robinson on the wing.
